Highland Cows in Pastel with Kate MacLeod

This week's lesson was working in soft pastel with Kate MacLeod.  The subject for the initial lesson was a Highland Cow.

Thank you all for your wonderful support.  It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves at the exhibition this weekend.  The buzz was tremendous. The artists will take a few days to recover .  We hope you all enjoy your purchases and look forward to seeing you next time.

Debbie will have more of her work on show at the Exhibition this weekend. She will, undoubtedly, be working on something whilst at the show. Why not come along and see her work in progress?

Collage Landscapes with Ailsa Lyn

Great afternoon making collage landscapes with thanks to Ailsa Lyn for providing the inspiration and sharing her knowledge. 

Audrey Bowling

Audrey Bowling is a local mixed-media artist and active member of Dunmow Art Group.  Working mostly with collage and in an abstract style, she will be there throughout the show (look for the drop spindle - she sometimes uses the yarn she makes in her artworks) to discuss her art, including this one titled 'Sunrise'
